Zacchaeus was a wee little man, and a wee little man was he.
He climbed up in a sycamore tree, for the Lord he wanted to see.
And as the Savior passed him by, He looked up in the tree,
And he said, "Zacchaeus, you come down from there;
For I'm going to your house today, for I'm going to your house today"

Here's what we've been up to for letter Z week:
Tuesday-Thursday Class...
Heard the stories "The Zoo I Drew" by Todd Doodler and "Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed" by Eilene Christelow
We all brought a favorite stuffed animal in for Zoo Day!
We practiced our fine motor skills as we used animal stencils
At circle time, we tried to think of an animal for EVERY letter of the alphabet.
Miss Lacy and I were pretty impressed with all of the animals that the children thought of! Here's what we came up with just during our circle time:
A: Alligator
B: Bird and Buffalo
C: Crocodile and Caterpillar
D: Dolphin and Duck
E: Elephant
F: Fish
G: Giraffe and Gopher
H: Hippo
I:
J:
K: Kangaroo
L: Ladybug
M: Monkey
N: Narwhal (Miss Jean told the children about this REAL animal, when someone mentioned the Unicorn!)
O: Octopus
P: Penguin and Peacock
Q:
R: Rabbit
S: Squirrel, Snake and Spider
T: Turtle and Tiger
U: Unicorn (they're make believe, you know!)
V:
W: Whale
X:
Y:
Z: Zebra
Maybe someone at home will think of some animals with the letters we missed!
MWF Class:
We made amazing watercolor Zebras!
We played the A B Seas Alphabet Fishing Game (one of our favorite games made by Discovery Toys)
Played with our Barrel of Monkeys
Made thank you notes for friends and teachers
Painted long strips of paper with green paint (you'll see why soon!)
Heard the song/story "The Green Grass Grows All Around"
Had a special outside Chapel Time with Pastor Greg. We sang "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands" while we walked outside on a very windy day. We all got to see a beautiful bird's nest that will soon have some baby robins in it!
Can you believe we already went through the entire alphabet! We did!
See you next time!
